CURRENT MISSION

"Il n'y a point d'effet sans cause"

ABOUT ME

I love my studies ! I'm curious about everything and I like to learn and to share. I'm thoughtful and respectful with others, and easy to live with. I'm a really passionate person, and always 100% dedicated to what I'm doing. I like cooking, discovering new food, new countries and doing outdoor activities.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a really sensitive person, respectful and open-minded. I don't like dogmatic people. I'm happy with little and I like to share deep conversations. I'm a humanist, and I deeply believe each of us takes his sense, realizes his happiness and is really himself only in the relation with others. Fears come with incomprehension and ignorance. We are not made to be isolated, and that's why I attach so much importance to travels and to meet people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met great friends through CS. After years I'm still in touch with many of them.

Interests

Since I'm studying the Enlightenment I have a great passion for the Eighteenth century and everything related to philosophy and history. I like old things and wood furniture. I'm passionate about cooking and baking, and most of all I enjoy sharing a great meal with friends.

I prefer mountains rather than beaches and sea !! Hiking and sleeping in a tent is the perfect match to make me happy. Love to take pictures and be out of town for days in the middle of nowhere.

I have a deep passion for beers since I was once working in a microbrewery. IPAs are the best ;) I like to discover new "not commercial" beers in small lost breweries.
